Ask Lemmy

I would acquire the rights to Tales From The Afternow by Sean Kennedy(The Fucking Man!)

Make a proper hbo quality(westworld level of production) out of it.

Then pay the author to write something that could be turned into a trilogy based on it, but set a thousand years forward.

And create a video game series using the main charqcters various life extensions set between the original series and the new trililogy, where hes on the same space ship but its like the outerlimits and you never know if the next episode is a continuation or a different era because the ship, much like in red dwarf, is essentially an immortal unchanging character

Immortal gates of pyre.

a bunch of the best starcraft II modders got together and made a spiritual successor to sc2 with books upon books of lore, entire functioning languages, an incredible UX, the best rts gameplay i've ever experienced, and all they need is fucking funding. ugh.

Any game with almost realistic graphics that is somehow capable of running at 60fps minimum at 1440p on ultra graphics with a simple Intel Graphics Igpu thanks to the power of optimization, in order to let the world know how garbage modern AAA games are.

I would buy WOTC and gift it to Larian to make bg4

I'm sure there is, but they're unknown to me. I'm not going to fund stuff already owned and made and has a bunch of sequels and spinoffs. I'm going to find and fund something new, something that the other people with money aren't taking a risk on.

Maybe Rogue System, if I am remembering the name right. It had a Kickstarter that failed to meet the minimum, but God damn it sounds like a bad ass idea. A space sim where you would have to actually re-route power through other systems when the normal link has been damage and basically all the stupid little jargon ideas they do to solve things in Star Trek would be mechanics in the game. If you wanted. It would have had settings for so much shit to make it as arcadey or as realistic as you wanted.

Ambitious as hell, but the developer had videos actually showing off some of the mechanics in action and it was as good as I imagined it could be and I'm still kinda upset that its Kickstarter failed.

A sequel to Blood Wake or at least a spiritual successor.

Not many people know about this game but I feel it would do somewhat well with online multiplayer. I was in it for the single player story. I’m still intrigued by the world they created.

Neuromancer, with out updating it for technology. I want that phone bank scene.

Maybe a slightly different take but… I always thought the Queensrÿche album Operation: Mindcrime could have been an interesting movie.

I’d probably try to get that made/fund that as a project.

Metal Gear Cobra: The Joy

The story of how the unit came to be Heroes in WWII, and especially the Normandy event for them. I want to see The Joy's story earlier. Potentially allow replaying as each member of the team.

A sequel could be training Snake amd doing missions with him in the 50's, ending with the flight to space.

Alternatively, tell the story of Raiden saving Sunny.

A series of animated movies of the entire Malazan Book of the Fallen

Dan simmons Hyperion series.

Ski Resort Tycoon.. 3 I think? ... Lots of Tycoon games in fact. Think what could be done with them if they had a big budget nowadays

I would like to see Star Citizen come to fruition like it was still the era where microtransactions didn't exist.

A live-action or animated adaptation of Worm.

Pump as much money as humanly possible into the JWQS / Clear and Muddy Loss of Love animation they're currently making.

Straight up entirely remake Borderlands 3.

A Pokemon game like Colosseum & XD, but only going up to Gen 4, I don't really like the direction the designs went after that.

Fund a proper Pacific Rim sequel.

A high budget Bionicle game would be neat.

And, provided I can pay money for a licence or just buy the original IPs, I'd have my favorite fanfics turned into animated shows as well.

The Starlost needs a remake. Great premise, dollar store execution.

Foreseeing the destruction of Earth, humanity builds a multi-generational starship called Earthship Ark, 50 miles (80 km) wide and 200 miles (320 km) long. The ship contains dozens of biospheres, each kilometres across and housing people of different cultures. Their goal is to find and seed a new world of a distant star.

In 2385, more than 100 years into the voyage, an unexplained accident occurs, and the ship goes into emergency mode in which each biosphere is sealed off from the others.

Centuries after its original launch, most of the descendants of the original crew and colonists are unaware that they are even aboard a spaceship.

Iain M. Banks' Culture.

I'm deathly afraid of the day some big studio manages to buy the rights and produce a Hollywood version of the Culture. Mostly because it is very easy to flip through the Wikipedia entries and then take the superficial aesthetic of the Culture and misunderstand or ignore the rest.

For an example on how easy it is to do this: I remember vividly when the German translations of the later books came out, and they all had some variation of

The Culture is the galaxy-spanning empire of mankind. Unbeknownst to its citizens however, their supposedly benevolent machine gods are about to dispense with the needs for humans at all"

in the blurb. Someone scanned the wiki page until they read something about "superhuman AI" or the like, then went "ah, got it, I've seen Terminator".

In a similar vein, I cannot imagine that Hollywood would portray the Culture as an unquestionably good Utopia. They'd not be able to resist to paint the luxury gay space communists as "...with a dark secret / actually dystopian /..." tones.

A great game that uses time traveling as a key gameplay and plot device.

Yes, an rpg vector based video game to play in the browser. Actually trying to rearrange my life so I can make it :)
